Other interesting guy is Reiff. I was not as impressed as others by him but he plays tackle and if he could hold down the right side for a decade they might think about it, particularly on a trade down.

I dont see Ingram as a boom or bust player,he is too athletic and motivated to excel.

I could see him busting pretty easily. Especially if he's drafted by a 4-3 team as a hand on the ground pass rusher, when he doesn't have the body or the skills for it. Almost all of his sacks at SC came from blitzing inside gaps as an inside linebacker, not getting around the corner on offensive tackles. He's Adalius Thomas, not JPP or DeMarcus Ware.

Ugh...that's a terrible comparison.

See above. I've been saying he's more a Mike in a 3-4 thanany other position

In a 4-3 he plays some SDE and some quick DT.
His sacks came from playing a lot of DT.

That was because he was always doubled outside even with a top overall DE recruit, clowney, on the other side.

He isn't JPP but he is very much like Justin Tuck IMHO.
Quality pass rusher you can use in a number of ways.
Has a more versatile overall game than anyone in this draft IMHO.

Hands team, personal protector on punt team, DT, ILB, DE....

Is that better than a Cox or DeCastro who do just one thing but very well? Not sure. But a team will be very happy with Ingram to be sure.
